The room was quiet for a few moments, and then the familiar voice came: "Come in."
After entering the house, Ning Yu turned around and closed the door.
A waiter just came out, carrying some untouched food.
Ning Yu accidentally glanced at it, frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Why do you eat so little?"
The attendant looked inside and whispered back: "Since the Lord left, His Highness has been unable to eat much for some reason."
Ning Yu's frown deepened and she waved her hand to indicate that he could go down.
Rui Yexi Jing, in the house except for eating and other necessary services, there are people around to serve her, and she never lets anyone stay in the house for too long.
But as his only confidant, Ning Yu had that right, but because Rui Ye needed Ning Yu to go out and handle too many things, he rarely stayed in the room with Rui Ye.
In the past, Ning Yu would take off the robe she was wearing when entering the outer room, but she didn't have time to take it off today.
After entering the inner room, a wave of heat enveloped him instantly, and he was sweating in just a few breaths.
Rui Ye was still lying on the lounge chair by the window. Even though the room was so warm, he was wearing ordinary clothes but still covered with a thick coat.
"Your Highness..."
Ruiye was reading a book. He didn't even look up when he heard this, and said calmly: "Sit down."
At this time, Ning Yu took off the black fox fur robe on her body.
Sitting down next to Ruiye, Ning Yu somehow saw that Ruiye had forgotten all the things she wanted to say to Ruiye along the way.
"Why, you've been out for four or five months and you don't even know what to say when you come back?" Rui Ye said calmly while turning the pages.
Ning Yu sighed, lowered her head, and retorted in a low voice: "Your Highness, I have only been out for less than four months..."
Ruiye didn't reply and just continued to read the book in his hand.
Ning Yu knew that he was not angry, and thought of what she wanted to say to him, and said: "Your Highness, I know the whereabouts of Xue Ji."
He kept looking at the book, and a faint voice came: "Oh?"
"I entered the Fairy Mountain and met Xue Ji at the mountain gate...but...that Xue Ji only has one year left to succeed, so I am going to find the successor Xue Ji."
"Successor Xue Ji?"
"Yes."
Ning Yu nodded, and then told Ruiye everything that happened in Liuhua Mountain in detail.
It also happened to save the small details of the passing between myself and the successor Xue Ji.
"The elders of the Xueji tribe gave me their key to the mountain."
As Ning Yu took out the light blue key from her arms, Ruiye also looked away from the book and looked at the key in Ning Yu's hand.
"Can you trust me?" Rui Ye said calmly.
"Your Highness, the elder led me through the demonstration, and I have completely memorized the secret words to open the mountain in my mind."
Ruiye nodded lightly, hummed and continued to read the book in his hand, and said calmly: "Then go find your successor Xue Ji and come back."
"But... Your Highness," Ning Yu was a little confused: "That mortal is from the Yuluan Sect in the north."
"Yuluan Sect?" Ruiye paused, his handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed as he recalled this familiar name in his mind.
"Is it the Yuluan Sect, which was ranked number one hundreds of thousands of years ago when we ranked the sects before?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Rui Ye's beautiful eyebrows briefly wrinkled and then relaxed.
"It's just a small sect, so I don't need to tell you what to do, right?"
Ning Yu paused for a moment, then continued: "Ning Yu understands... but Your Highness... the monarch has always treated the Northern Territory with courtesy. If I go and attack the Yuluan Sect rashly, wouldn't it be..."
Ruiye slowly turned back as he spoke, casting a cool look at Ning Yu.
"Your Highness... Ning Yu is also afraid that they will come to the imperial city to complain, and that this matter will affect His Highness..."
Before he finished speaking, Ruiye said calmly: "The land in the north only recognizes tokens, but how do they know who the token you are holding belongs to?"
Hearing this, Ning Yu was startled and looked at Ruiye with some doubts. Ruiye pursed her thin lips and turned to continue reading the book in her hand.
About the moment Rui Ye turned around, Ning Yu immediately understood what Rui Ye meant.
The tokens of the three princes are all the same, and the lives of the three princes are not engraved on the tokens.
If he went to the north and took out the token, how would they know which prince he belonged to?
But even if I don't take out my token and only rely on force to put pressure on them, they will never be able to resist.
After thinking about it, Ning Yu stood up after saluting and was about to go out. She already had the robe in her hand. Rui Ye said lightly: "I've been away for so many days and I just came back. You're tired too."
, it’s not too late to take a rest one night and set off tomorrow.”
After hearing this, Ning Yu paused, put the robe back to its original position, and then stayed by Ruiye's side to watch him read.
Early the next morning, Ning Yu thought of leaving early and returning early, so she left a letter in front of Ruiye's door and set off.
